The news you've all been waiting for!

Last week on Wednesday we had our 20 week ultrasound! It was so neat to be able to see our baby again! The ultrasound technician kept telling us what a beautiful baby we have. I definitely agree! Everything is fine on the ultrasound and they told us the baby weighs around 1 pound right now.

And now, the news you're all waiting for.....



They told us we're having a.....




GIRL!!!


Josh and I are very excited. We didn't care either way if we had a boy or girl, but I think our families (minus my brother David!) were all rooting for a girl! I'm most excited about the fact that we have a healthy baby.

We have chosen the name Cynthia Esther.

Here are some pictures. (Hopefully in a few days I will be able to post a few of the video clips they gave us at the ultrasound.)

    Yay - it's about time you updated :) You gotta love the ultrasound pics that "supposedly" show you what you are having - good thing the techs are trained to read those things, because otherwise, we'd have no clue!!! Although, Elijah has been very happy to show us everytime that he's DEFINITELY a boy! ha!! Congrats again Momma!

    So glad you were able to find out the gender! It is sooo exciting! I loved the last half of my pregnancy with Kayla bonding with my little girl not just a baby in general!

    Hope you had a very special first Mother's Day!

    Congrats! Girls are so much fun! That's a beautiful name. What made you decide on Cynthia? Is it a family name? Did you have a hard time deciding? Cynthia looks like she has big feet. :) So amazing that they can see that much detail!
